Effective Negotiation Strategy and Loophole Analysis

Introduction

Effective negotiation is a critical competency in both work and life situations. An effective negotiator will draw upon a range of communication and interpersonal skills as well as developing an overall strategy for the negotiation by focusing on issues of the process, planning and objective setting. Typically, negotiations occur at both the individual and team level internally within peer groups and with employees as well as externally with suppliers and customers. Closely associated with the negotiation process is the possibility of disagreement and dispute conflict, it is therefore appropriate to consider how best to reduce the risk of disputes and how to resolve then if they do occur.

This Effective Negotiation Strategy and Loophole Analysis training course will cover negotiation strategy and planning and provide delegates with an effective toolbox of skills to enable them to follow a structured process and be able to identify loopholes and weaknesses in the arguments of other parties. This will allow them to gain competitive advantage in the discussion. The delegates will be introduced to different negotiation styles and tactics and learn how to recognise and counter them. There will be an opportunity for delegates to carry out a self-assessment of their own skills over the whole range of the negotiation topic and they will consider the differences between negotiating individually or as part of a team.
